Hi. I have a staff table and an assignments table. A staff member can have many assignments. I want to query the staff members based on their number of assignments for the month. The staff members should be ordered by the number of assignments from least to greatest. Here's what I'm starting with:

SELECT staff.staff_id, staff.first_name + ' ' + staff.last_name, COUNT( ...) this is where I'm not sure what to do? WHERE staff.staff_id = assignments.staff_id ORDER BY COUNT( ...again not sure...)

Thanks for any help you can provide. :-)

Something like this?
SELECT
	s.staff_id,
	s.first_name + ' ' + s.last_name AS staff_name,
	COUNT(DISTINCT a.assignment_id) AS Assignments
FROM
	staff s
	LEFT JOIN assignments a ON
		a.staff_id = s.staff_id
GROUP BY
	s.staff_id,
	s.first_name + ' ' + s.last_name
ORDER BY
	Assignments;
